> [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > So–Stuntman Mike and Helmut Doork–[same person](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=879271)? Gee Inspector Garrison, lighten up- cant a guy have a bit of fun with a goofy OP? Surely you didnt take my nonsense serious?:rolleyes: But thats a good point- seems like if the FBI has a program that can tell Jon Benet’s mom wrote the ransom letter, surely some bright troll hunter here can write one as well? Would be no problem at all to compare two posters’ style, word usage, etc to determine a match, then anything close you could compare similar IP addresses- simple. But board members wouldnt want that- then the fun of troll threads would be gone, and youd be left with “songs that are about love” and “movies shot in color”. A current board thread _started_ by a clear to all troll has over 150 hits and over the last two days has the highest views and posts of any on the board. So saying the board hates trolls and then not letting that one die a quick death seems insincere on the part of some of the board elders- many of those who complain seem to enjoy posting in the troll threads, multiple times! but we dont feed them right, not the smart members? Not to mention they are far and away the most viewed- if youre looking for a good chuckle, thats the place to go. So if youre looking for a theory on who is sending the trolls, forget the Russkies, look to who stands to gain- the board owners! Without the trolls driving viewers, youd have to take this site behind the barn and shoot it. Inspector Garrison and forest Gump- same person? ---

It’s amazing how fast Doork became booring. His schtick is old. Hell, it was old back in 2002 when it was done by people far better at it. ---

Its like the Colonel Nathan Jessup speech- you say the trolls are scum and you wish theyd go away, but deep down, you need them, and you’re glad they’re there! ---

I know this is the pit(s), but you are still free to tell me where im wrong, exactly, in my assessment- or just the passing one liner will do, it is the forum for the no-brainer. ---

You’re boring and smugly self-satisfied about it. No, you aren’t witty. No, your oddly verbose enchantment with your own prose isn’t cute. Hopefully you’ll fuck right off when school starts. ---

> [@The\_Librarian](#): > > Do you need help operating your ignore list? I’m sure he knows how to do it. But putting someone on “ignore” is an impediment to the amusing pastime of pointing and laughing, which many of us consider a genuine sport, both as participants and as spectators. ---

At least Stuntman Mike gave the thread a title so descriptive some of us could just skip clicking on it at all. ---
